Gone? Did you just vanish our Library like the freaking Nothing in the Neverending Story?

Can she do that?

The Library could. The thing's essentially a sentient Escher painting with shelves. The only question is, why would it?

We were headed that way to see if we could even get in to the Library–

and there were these men - those men - all in black like a SWAT team, taking the books.

Taking the books?

Portions of the collection are being sold to– interested parties to cover Silas' operating deficit.

So we followed them in, and the books were screaming. The shelves were shifting around like a giant maze,

then the stacks just started crushing everyone.

We decided evacuation was the better part of valour, so we were about twenty feet back when the entire

building folded itself out of existence. It was pretty awesome.

[JP cuts in and out]

Jeep? You okay?

I'm fine. A momentary interruption in my power supply.

While vanishing architecture is unfortunate, the cuts are necessary.

Cuts? This is a University, and you just took our library. You can't just do that!

Of course I can. The Board voted.

Is the Board Chair still here?

And to what do I owe the Ride of the Valkyries?

The school cancelled the Adonis Festival.

We can't afford the extra security.

Hey! Where's that Board-lady?

A bunch of goons from some company are dismantling our brewing tanks.

Those tanks are school property, and will be sold along with other equipment from

the chemical and biological science departments.

What?

They are ruining a really rad batch of Pilsner.

Tragic...

How is the University supposed to function without a library and research equipment?

We are doing our best to preserve the essentials-

The essentials?!

[yelling - about beer, and centrifuges, and longstanding Silas traditions]

[Mattie emits a very non-human scream. Somewhere between bird of prey and ultrasonic weaponry.]

I'm sorry.

But do you children think we're having a discussion?
